In the next couple of days, everyone will see lots of curved things at CES 2015. TVs, all-in-one PCs, and plenty of desktop monitors are just a few technological wonders, but some gamers want to see curve displays.
LG, one of the main pushers of curved displays, has just announced one of those products before everyone head for Las Vegas. The 34-inch UltraWide desktop monitor has been designed for gamers and integrates support for AMD’s FreeSync, which eliminates unsightly screen tearing that can happen when monitor and graphics card get out of sync.
And since it's got a 21:9 aspect ratio, gamers will be able to see details on screen that are hidden from your multi-player foes playing "Battlefield 4" on 16:9 monitors.
LG's not new to 21:9 displays, but it's describing the new curved UltraWide as one of its best yet, promising unrivaled color accuracy thanks to the UltraWide's IPS panel, ability to output 99 percent of the sRGB color gamut, and 178 degrees of pristine viewing angles.
At the same time, LG is launching a flat version of the monitor. The UM67 keeps the same FreeSync technology, presenting the games it's designed for in 21:9 resolutions.
But LG's actually not just aiming its curved monitor at gamers. Since users can stack two of them together, the company also thinks the UltraWide is a good fit for stock traders who are glued to market tickers all day long. It could probably do amazing things for spreadsheets at the office.
Gamers can combine four of them and feel like they are on an episode of 24. Just look at the possibilities LG thinks up above. Sadly, nobody can really tell how much putting together those rigs would cost; there's still no pricing or release date for the new UltraWides. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, somebody will be able to tell whether it's worth reworking the home gaming setup.
